Did yall hear how elated the president of Uzbekistan is to be establising trade deals with Trump?The *w i n n i n g* has been piling on as of late, and this one really interests me. Gets me wondering more about the Uzbeks and if they like Trump as much as their leader.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev is pretty excited to get his hands on American military tech.

*hmmmm*.
Is this the same psychopath who has some sort of grandiose structure constructed to celebrate their nation's lack of interest in taking sides in anything?
Maybe that was Turkmenistan
What does it look like?
Still looking
Central Asia is a very surreal place
Because it looks like the middle of fucking nowhere
One of the 'Stans in particular had a leader who was obsessed with Cult of Personality
Oh, hello, largest operational space launch facility in the world, that's *also* in the middle of fucking nowhere
Empire of Dust but not in Africa
These ones in particular look like they're straight ouf of a 1930s Soviet sketchbook (or Fallout *or* Game of Thrones, for that matter):
```Niyazov banned the use of lip syncing at public concerts in 2005 as well as sound recordings at "musical performances on state holidays, in broadcasts by Turkmen television channels, at all cultural events organized by the state... in places of mass assembly and at weddings and celebrations organised by the public," citing a negative effect on the development of musical arts incurred by the use of recorded music.
Niyazov banished dogs from the capital Ashgabat because of their "unappealing odour."
According to the Ashgabat correspondent of Turkmenistan.ru, right-hand-drive imported cars converted to left-hand-drive were banned due to a perceived increased risk in accidents.
Niyazov requested that a "palace of ice", or indoor ice skating rink, be built near the capital, so that those living in the desert country could learn to skate. The rink was built in 2008 and is located near the new Turkmen State Medical University.
After having to quit smoking in 1997 due to his resultant heart surgery, he banned smoking in all public places and ordered all government employees to follow suit. Chewing tobacco on Turkmen soil was later banned as well.
He outlawed opera, ballet and circuses in 2001 for being "decidedly unturkmen-like".
In February 2004, he decreed that men should no longer wear long hair or beards.
He banned news reporters and anchors from wearing make-up on television, because he said he found it difficult to distinguish male anchors from female anchors.
Gold teeth were discouraged in Turkmenistan after Niyazov suggested that the populace chew on bones to strengthen their teeth and lessen the rate at which they fall out```
interesting fellow
```The agreement included 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate and a destroyer, which were sold to a Swedish company for scrap recycling. Those 17 submarines made Pepsi become, for a few days, the 6th largest military power in the world by number of diesel submarines. The president of Pepsi, Donald Kendall, told the National Security Adviser of USA: "We are disarming the USSR faster than you".```
